| alien point of view | major | We saw what it might be like for a human-looking alien from outer space with scarcely any knowledge of human customs experience to learn about them first hand.

| controlling partner | major | Anderson described Jessica-Ann as a caged animal living with her conspicuously domineering partner Josephine, but Jessica-Ann explained that she liked staying with Josephine and felt protected by her. Although it ultimately turned into a nightmare for Jessica-Ann and she resolved to leave with Anderson to go to London. |
